On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Backstop Agreement, the Closing Backstop Participants shall receive the Put Premium in the form of shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock.

 

I. Incremental Liquidity Rights Offering and Backstop Commitment

On the Minimum Liquidity Test Date, the financial advisors to the Debtors and the financial advisors to the Backstop Participants shall make a determination as to (1) whether the Minimum Liquidity Test is satisfied and (2) if not, whether the issuance of Incremental Liquidity Shares in any amount up to an aggregate of $25 million (in $1 million increments) would enable Reorganized Key to have Minimum Liquidity on the Effective Date. If a determination is made by the financial advisors to the Debtors and the financial advisors to the Backstop Participants that the issuance of Incremental Liquidity Shares is both necessary and sufficient to cause Reorganized Key to have Minimum Liquidity on the Effective Date, then the Debtors shall, on the next Business Day after the Minimum Liquidity Test Date, file with the Bankruptcy Court a notice (the form of which shall be consented to by the advisors to the Backstop Participants) indicating the results of such determination, the number of Incremental Liquidity Shares to be issued under the Plan and the applicable Incremental Liquidity Per Share Price(s) for such shares. If the financial advisors to the Debtors and the financial advisors to the Backstop Participants are unable to reach agreement on the Minimum Liquidity Test Date as to the determinations in (1) and (2) above, then the parties shall seek a determination as to any such dispute from the Bankruptcy Court on the next Business Day after the Minimum Liquidity Test Date, to be heard on an expedited basis such that the Effective Date shall not be delayed.

 

29


If a determination is made by either the financial advisors to the Debtors and the financial advisors to the Backstop Participants, or by the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, that the issuance of Incremental Liquidity Shares is both necessary and sufficient to cause Reorganized Key to have Minimum Liquidity on the Effective Date, Reorganized Key shall issue Incremental Liquidity Shares in an aggregate amount equal to the minimum dollar amount (rounded up to the nearest $1 million increment) necessary for Reorganized Key to have Minimum Liquidity on the Effective Date, at the applicable Incremental Liquidity Per Share Price(s). For the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Liquidity Shares shall be issued, sold and distributed pursuant to the Incremental Liquidity Rights Offering only if the determination is made that the Minimum Liquidity Test is not satisfied.

The Incremental Liquidity Rights Offering shall be funded by (1) the Senior Notes Rights Offering Participants (other than the Backstop Participants) that have properly subscribed to the maximum number of shares of Primary Rights Offering Common Stock for which they are eligible and that properly subscribe for Incremental Liquidity Senior Notes-Allocated Shares, (2) the eligible Equity Holder Rights Offering Participants that properly subscribe for Incremental Liquidity Equity-Allocated Shares, and (3) subject to the terms and conditions of the Backstop Agreement, the Closing Backstop Participants pursuant to the Backstop Commitment. The Incremental Liquidity Shares properly subscribed for by the Senior Notes Rights Offering Participants (other than the Backstop Participants) and the Equity Holder Rights Offering Participants and purchased by the Closing Backstop Participants pursuant to the Backstop Commitment, as applicable, shall be delivered to such parties on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, each Senior Notes Rights Offering Participant (other than the Backstop Participants) and each eligible Equity Holder Rights Offering Participant that elects to participate in the Incremental Liquidity Rights Offering is required to fully fund its respective pro rata subscription for Incremental Liquidity Shares prior to the expiration of the Primary Rights Offering in order to properly subscribe pursuant to the Incremental Liquidity Rights Offering. Each Backstop Participant is required to fully fund its respective pro rata subscription for Incremental Liquidity Shares subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Backstop Agreement.

 

J. Consensual Equity Holder Exchange

In connection with the settlement embodied in the Plan Support Agreement and the Debtors’ and the Supporting Creditors’ consensual pursuit of the Plan as a “prepackaged” chapter 11 plan of reorganization, the Senior Notes class, by voting to accept the Plan, shall be deemed to have consented to the delivery of part of the Class 5 recovery, in the form of the Equity Holder Shares and New Warrants, by the Reorganized Debtors to Holders of Existing Key Common Stock in exchange for the cancellation of such Holders’ Existing Key Common Stock and for such Holders (1) providing the releases set forth herein (as described in Section III.C.8 of the Plan) and (2) refraining from the actions set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (E) in Section III.C.8 above.

 

K. Equity Holder Cash-Out Subscription

No later than the Minimum Liquidity Test Date, the Debtors shall determine the aggregate dollar amount of proceeds received from Equity Holder Rights Offering Participants under the Equity Holder Cash-Out Subscription and aggregate Equity Holder Cash-Out Amounts elected by Holders in Class 8. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, Equity Holder Cash-Out Shares and Warrants that were properly subscribed for (and fully-funded) under the Equity Holder Cash-Out Subscription shall be issued to the Equity Holder Rights Offering Participants that properly subscribed, and the Holders of Allowed Existing Key Common Stock that properly elected to receive the Equity Holder Cash-Out Amount will receive the corresponding Equity Holder Cash-Out Amounts in lieu of such Equity Holder Cash-Out Shares and Warrants. The Equity Holder Cash-Out Subscription may be limited to the extent the Debtors, in consultation with the Required Consenting Noteholders, determine necessary to comply with one or more requirements for listing on NYSE or NASDAQ.

If the Debtors have not, prior to the Petition Date, obtained standard tail coverage (i.e., director, manager, and officer insurance coverage that extends beyond the end of the policy period) under a D&O Liability Insurance Policy covering the current and former directors, officers, and managers of the Debtors as of the Effective Date for at least six years after the Effective Date, then the Debtors shall, with the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, obtain such coverage. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if not already obtained or arranged for prior to the Effective Date by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors shall obtain a six-year extension of the time after the Effective Date in which Claims can be reported under the D&O Liability Insurance Policies with respect to otherwise covered acts taking place prior to the end of the policy period(s) of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

 

Y. Incentive Compensation Plans

On the Effective Date, Reorganized Key shall be authorized to grant awards under the New MIP, which shall authorize the grant of compensation described in the following sentence comprised of stock or economic rights tied to the value of stock collectively representing up to 7% of the fully diluted shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock as of the Effective Date (without regard to shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the New Warrants). The New MIP may provide for awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, options and stock appreciation rights struck at a to-be-determined premium to the Effective Date Per Share Price and cash-based awards, for distribution to officers, directors and employees of the Reorganized Debtors as determined by the New Key Board. On or following the Effective Date, the New Key Board or an authorized committee thereof shall be authorized, without further approval of Reorganized Key equity holders, to execute and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments and certificates relating to the New MIP and to perform their obligations thereunder in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the New MIP. As of the Effective Date, all employee equity or equity-based incentive plans, and any provisions set forth in the Compensation and Benefits Programs that provide for rights to acquire any Interests in Key shall be cancelled.

Subject to the terms of this Section IV.Y and Section V.H.1, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, all equity components of any existing agreements, plans or programs of the Debtors, including the existing prepetition incentive programs will be cancelled, any cash components of such plans will be honored by Reorganized Key, and Reorganized Key shall have no obligation to provide equity-based compensation to employees except as may be provided pursuant to the New MIP. Decisions with respect to amounts to be paid to employees on account of the existing prepetition incentive programs (including the 2016 annual cash incentive plan generally available to the Debtors’ employees) will be made following the Effective Date at the discretion of the New Key Board. The maximum aggregate amount payable under the 2016 annual cash incentive plan shall not exceed $10.3 million.

 

34


Z. Senior Management

Except as expressly provided in the Plan Supplement, members of the Debtors’ existing senior management shall remain in their current capacities as officers of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

AA. Corporate Advisory Services Agreement

On the Plan Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, Reorganized Key shall enter into the Corporate Advisory Services Agreement.

 

BB. Exemption from Certain Taxes and Fees

Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any issuance, transfer, or exchange of any security or other property pursuant hereto, as well as any sale transactions consummated by the Debtors in accordance with the Plan on and after the Confirmation Date through and including the Effective Date, shall not be subject to any stamp, real estate transfer, mortgage recording or other similar tax or governmental assessment in the United States, and the Confirmation Order shall direct and be deemed to direct the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents to forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation instruments or other documents pursuant to such transfers of property without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment. Such exemption specifically applies, without limitation, to (1) the creation of any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, or other security interest, (2) the making or assignment of any lease or sublease, (3) any Restructuring Transaction, or (4) the making or delivery of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of or in connection with the Plan, including: (a) any merger agreements; (b) agreements of consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation or dissolution; (c) deeds; (d) bills of sale; or (e) assignments executed in connection with any Restructuring Transaction occurring under the Plan.

 

CC. Preservation of Causes of Action

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except where such Causes of Action have been expressly released (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Debtor Release provided by Section VIII.E hereof), the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action in their favor, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interest of the Reorganized Debtors. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action. Except with respect to Causes of Action as to which the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have expressly released any Person or Entity on or prior to the Effective Date (pursuant to the Debtor Release provided by Section VIII.E hereof or otherwise), the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after or as a consequence of the Confirmation or consummation of the Plan.

 

DD. No Change of Control

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, none of (1) the facts or circumstances giving rise to the commencement of, or occurring in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, (2) the issuance of shares of the Plan Securities pursuant to the Plan, or (3) implementation or consummation of any other transaction pursuant to the Plan

 

35


shall constitute a “change in ownership” or “change of control” (or a change in working control) of, or in connection with, any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor that requires the consent of any Person other than the Debtors or the Bankruptcy Court or triggers a default or right of termination, including in connection with any local municipal licensing arrangement, any Executory Contract or other agreement (whether entered into before or after the Petition Date) between any Debtor and any third party, or violates any law (including the common law), statute, rule or any other regulation otherwise applicable to any Debtor.

ARTICLE V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES; EMPLOYEE BENEFITS; AND INSURANCE POLICIES

 

A. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases not previously assumed or rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court will be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code except any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List (which shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court in the Plan Supplement on or before the Plan Supplement Filing Date) as an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease designated for rejection, (2) which is the subject of a separate motion or notice to reject filed by the Debtors and pending as of the Confirmation Hearing, or (3) that previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms.

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute an order approving the assumptions or rejections of such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases as set forth in the Plan, all pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and effective on the occurrence of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order, and not assigned to a third party on or prior to the Effective Date, shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable contracting Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by the Debtors and the applicable counterparty with the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, or by order of the Bankruptcy Court. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List in their discretion, prior to the Effective Date on no less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the non-Debtor Entity party thereto, subject to the prior written consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders to the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

 

B. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

To the extent a monetary default exists under an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease proposed to be assumed pursuant to the Plan, such monetary default shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the applicable Cure Cost in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, subject to the limitations described below, or, subject to the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree.

At least 14 days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall serve on the non-Debtor counterparties to the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases proposed to be assumed pursuant to the Plan, a notice of assumption and procedures for objecting to the assumption of, and/or the proposed Cure Costs for, such party’s Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and for the resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent the Debtors identify one or more Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases for which the applicable Cure Cost is an

 

36


amount other than $0, the Debtors shall identify the proposed Cure Cost for each such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease in the notice of assumption served on the applicable counterparty. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or proposed Cure Cost must be Filed, served and actually received by the Debtors at least seven (7) days before the Confirmation Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption of its Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or the proposed Cure Cost applicable thereto will be deemed to have consented to such assumption and Cure Cost. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is removed from the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases after the 14-day deadline referenced above, a notice of assumption and proposed Cure Cost with respect to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be sent promptly to the counterparty thereof and a noticed hearing set to consider whether such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease can be assumed and, if so, the applicable Cure Cost.

Any objection to a proposed assumption or Cure Cost will be heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing or, at the election of the Debtors, at a later hearing; provided, however, that at any time following the Confirmation Date but prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors, subject to the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), may settle any dispute regarding the assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and/or the amount of any Cure Cost without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. If the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Cure Cost with respect to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is greater than the amount set forth in the applicable notice of assumption and cure cost, the Debtors, subject to the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will have the right to add such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, in which case such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims against, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, by the applicable Debtor(s) arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of the assumption.

 

C. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, including easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

 

D. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Unless otherwise provided by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, any Holder of a Claim arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise must File a Proof of Claim with the Notice and Claims Agent on or before the Rejection Damages Claims Bar Date. Any Claim arising from the rejection or repudiation of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease for which a Proof of Claim is not timely Filed shall not be Allowed, shall be forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or property of the foregoing parties, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in a Proof of Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall constitute General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Section III.C.6 hereof.

 

37


E. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date

Any contract or lease entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contract or Unexpired Leases assumed by a Debtor, will be performed by the applicable Debtor(s) or Reorganized Debtor(s) liable thereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

 

F. Insurance Policies

The Reorganized Debtors shall not take any action to cancel any of the Debtors’ insurance policies, including the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, that are in existence as of the Effective Date unless such cancellation is for the purpose of obtaining replacement coverage with equal or more favorable coverage terms, and all members, managers, directors, and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policies for the full term of such policies regardless of whether such members, managers, directors or officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date. If and to the extent necessary to effectuate this obligation, such insurance policies, including the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, shall be treated as and deemed to be Executory Contracts assumed by the Debtors under the Plan.

 

G. Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations

On and from the Effective Date, and except as prohibited by applicable law or subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all indemnification obligations currently in place for the Debtors’ directors, officers, managers, employees and their attorneys, other professionals and agents, whether in the by-laws, certificates of incorporation (or other formation documents), board resolutions, employment contracts or other agreements of the Debtors.

 

H. Employee Compensation and Benefits

 

  1. Compensation and Benefit Programs

Subject to the provisions set forth below and except as provided in Section IV.Y above, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all existing employment, retention and change of control agreements by and between the Debtors and employees of the Debtors as of the Petition Date (the “Assumed Employee Agreements”) shall be assumed by the Debtors in accordance with the terms of this Section V.H.1, and any future cash payments or distributions contemplated thereunder shall (to the extent not paid in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Cases) remain outstanding and payable in full in cash by Reorganized Key after the Effective Date; provided, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any provisions in any of the Compensation and Benefits Programs, including in such Assumed Employee Agreements that provide rights to purchase or receive Existing Key Common Stock (including vested and unvested (a) restricted stock and (b) restricted stock units) shall be given effect and treated as Existing Key Common Stock for purposes of the Rights Offering and the consensual treatment described in Section III.C.8 above under the Plan (and will be null and void and have no effect with respect to shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock after the Effective Date); provided, further, that notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or Confirmation Order, any change of control provisions in the Assumed Employee Agreements may be triggered by the Plan and Confirmation Order pursuant to the terms set forth in such Assumed Employee Agreements, and the existing Key board has made no determination as to whether or not such provisions will be triggered pursuant to the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Assumed Employee Agreement contains a provision or provisions allowing Key to convert a cash payment or distribution into equity, such provision(s) shall be null and void as to such conversion feature, and any future cash payments or distributions will be paid in cash by Reorganized Key after the Effective Date in accordance with the foregoing sentence.

 

38


Cash obligations of the Reorganized Debtors on and after the Effective Date pursuant to the prior paragraph shall not exceed a maximum of $8.75 million of which approximately (x) $4.6 million relates to retention payments approved by the existing Key board of directors; (y) $3.4 million relates to current contractual severance obligations; and (z) up to $750,000 relates to retention or separation-related payments that may become due on or after the Effective Date; provided, however, that the $8.75 million cap on cash obligations shall exclude (i) any obligations in the nature of wages, expense reimbursements, or other non-incentive based amounts or benefits; and (ii) any other obligations that may become due as a result of a termination under the terms of contractual obligations in place as of the date of the Plan Support Agreement, whether or not following a change of control, up to a maximum amount of $11.75 million; provided further, that any individual severance obligation as to former employees terminated prior to the Effective Date will be resolved in a manner satisfactory to the Required Consenting Noteholders and the Debtors, other than individual severance obligations for less than one year’s salary and for less than $500,000 in the aggregate for all severance obligations, which may be resolved by the Debtors in consultation with the Required Consenting Noteholders.

 

  2. Workers’ Compensation Programs

As of the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under: (a) all applicable workers’ compensation laws in states in which the Reorganized Debtors will operate; and (b) the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds, policies, programs, and plans for workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation insurance; provided, however, that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action in their favor, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans; provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable state law. Any Proofs of Claims on account of workers’ compensation shall be deemed withdrawn automatically and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

I. Reservation of Rights

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, nor anything contained in the Plan, nor the Debtors’ delivery of a notice of proposed assumption and proposed Cure Costs to applicable contract and lease counterparties, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor would have any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors, with the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

The Debtors reserve their right to assert that rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of preexisting obligations owed to the Debtors under such contract or lease. Notwithstanding any non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, the Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased, or services previously received, by the contracting Debtors from counterparties to rejected or repudiated Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

A. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date (or, if a Claim or Interest is not Allowed on the Effective Date, as set forth in Section VI.C of the Plan), each Holder

 

39


of an Allowed Claim or Interest against the Debtors shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims or Interests in the applicable Class and in the manner provided herein. In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. Except as otherwise provided herein, Holders of Claims and Interests shall not be entitled to interest, dividends or accruals on the distributions provided for herein, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

 

B. Distribution Agent

Except as otherwise provided herein, all distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Reorganized Debtors as Distribution Agent or by such other Entity designated by the Reorganized Debtors as a Distribution Agent on or after the Effective Date. A Distribution Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that a Distribution Agent is so ordered, all costs and expenses of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Distribution Agent.

 

  1. Powers of Distribution Agent

The Distribution Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereunder or made in connection herewith; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Distribution Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan or as deemed by the Distribution Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.

In addition to the services authorized by any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the retention and employment of Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, as Notice and Claims Agent for the Debtors, Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC is authorized and empowered to perform the following services: (x) assist the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors and their advisors with the administrative management, reconciliation and resolution of Claims and Interests; and (y) facilitate or perform distributions on account of Allowed Claims and Interests.

 

  2. Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date

Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Distribution Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) made by the Distribution Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.

 

C. Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed After the Effective Date

Distributions made after the Effective Date to Holders of Disputed Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date but which later become Allowed Claims shall be made on the date that is no later than ten (10) Business Days after such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date.

 

D. Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims

Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as may be agreed to by the Debtors (subject to the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or the Reorganized Debtors, on the one hand, and the Holder of a Disputed Claim, on the other hand, no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to any Disputed Claim until all Disputed Claims held by the Holder of such Disputed Claim have become Allowed Claims or have otherwise been resolved by settlement or Final Order.

 

40


E. Delivery of Distributions

 

  1. Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims at the address for such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ books and records as of the date of any such distribution (or, if a Proof of Claim has been Filed by or on behalf of such Holder, at the address set forth in such Proof of Claim Filed); provided, however, that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent.

 

  2. Minimum Distributions

In the case of Equity Holder Plan Securities to be delivered to Holders of Allowed Existing Key Common Stock, any such Holder who would be entitled to less than half of an Equity Holder Share based on its holdings will receive no Equity Holder Plan Securities. The fractional shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock and the associated New Warrants or fractional New Warrants that would otherwise be allocated to such Holders of Allowed Existing Key Common Stock entitled to less than half of an Equity Holder Share based on their respective holdings will instead be aggregated and reallocated to Holders in Class 8 entitled to half or more than half a share of Reorganized Key Common Stock, and delivered to such Holders as part of their Equity Holder Plan Securities.

 

  3. Unclaimed and Undeliverable Distributions

 

  (a) Holding of Certain Undeliverable Distributions

If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim made in accordance herewith is returned to the Reorganized Debtors (or their Distribution Agent) as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder; provided, however, that, following any such Holder’s proper and timely notification to the Reorganized Debtors of its then current address as described in Section VI.E.3(b) hereof, the Distribution Agent shall make one additional attempt to deliver the distribution to the Holder at such address; provided, further, however, that if no such proper and timely notification is made by the Holder or if, following a proper and timely notification, the Debtor makes one additional attempt to deliver the distribution but the distribution is again returned as undeliverable, the returned check(s) shall be null and void and the distribution(s) attempted pursuant to such check(s) shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to Section VI.E.3(b) hereof, until such time as any such distributions become deliverable. Undeliverable distributions shall not be entitled to any additional interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind on account of their distribution being undeliverable.

 

  (b) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions

No later than 60 days after an initial distribution has been made to each Class entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall File with the Bankruptcy Court a list of the Holders of undeliverable distributions. This list shall be maintained and updated periodically in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent for as long as the Chapter 11 Cases stay open. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim, irrespective of when a Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, that does not notify the Distribution Agent of such Holder’s then current address in accordance with the procedures indicated in the Filed document containing the list of Holders of undeliverable distributions within 60 days after the Filing thereof shall have its Claim for such undeliverable distribution discharged and shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting any such Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their property. Nothing contained herein shall require the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

 

  (c) Failure to Present Checks

In an effort to ensure that all Holders of Allowed Claims receive their allocated distributions, the Reorganized Debtors shall File with the Bankruptcy Court a list of the Holders of any unnegotiated checks no later than 70 days after the date printed on such checks. This list shall be maintained and updated periodically in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtors for as long as the Chapter 11 Cases stay open.

 

41


Checks issued by the Reorganized Debtors (or their Distribution Agent) on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 90 days after the date printed on such checks, and the distributions attempted pursuant to such checks shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors. Any request for reissuance of a check shall be made directly to the Distribution Agent. Any Holder holding an unnegotiated check that does not request reissuance of such unnegotiated check within 110 days after the Filing of a list of unnegotiated checks on which such check first appears (as described in the preceding paragraph) shall have its Claim for such unnegotiated check discharged and shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting any such Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their property. Nothing contained herein shall require the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any Holder of an unnegotiated check.

 

  (d) Unclaimed Distributions

Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of six months after it has been delivered (or attempted to be delivered) shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is Reorganized Key Common Stock, shall be deemed cancelled. Upon such revesting, the Claim or Interest of any holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.

 

F. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of a distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, liens and encumbrances. For tax purposes, distributions in full or partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to unpaid interest on such Claims.

 

G. Surrender of Canceled Instruments or Securities

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or Interest that is discharged by the Plan shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate to the Distribution Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Claims that are Unimpaired under the Plan.

 

42


H. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

 

  1. Claims Paid by Third Parties

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce in full a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor, as applicable. To the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution under the Plan on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within two weeks of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the Allowed amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the Holder owing the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the federal judgment rate (as in effect on the Petition Date) on such amount owed for each Business Day after the two-week grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.

 

  2. Claims Payable by Insurance

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim, then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  3. Applicability of Insurance Policies

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED, CONTINGENT, AND

UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS

 

A. Allowance of Claims

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order (including the Confirmation Order) in the Chapter 11 Cases Allowing such Claim. Except as otherwise provided herein, Holders of Claims shall not be required to File a Proof of Claim; provided, however, that the Debtors, and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve all rights to object to any Claim for which a Proof of Claim is Filed and to otherwise dispute, object to or assert any defense with respect to any Claim. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses the Debtors had with respect to any Claim immediately prior to the Effective Date, except with respect to any Claim deemed Allowed under the Plan, including the Allowed Term Loan Claims, Allowed ABL Credit Facility Claims, and the Allowed Senior Notes Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the Allowed Term Loan Claims, the Allowed ABL Credit Facility Claims, and the Allowed Senior Notes Claims will not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, set off, offset, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual or otherwise), counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses, disallowance, impairment, objection or any other challenges under any applicable law or regulation by any person or Entity.

 

43


B. Prosecution of Objections to Claims

The Debtors, subject to the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to: (1) File, withdraw or litigate to judgment, objections to Claims or Interests; (2) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim (including, after the Effective Date, without any further notice to or action, order or approval by the Bankruptcy Court); and (3) administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises (including, after the Effective Date, without any further notice to or action, order or approval by the Bankruptcy Court); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Trustee shall have standing to object to Professional Fee Claims. All settled Claims approved prior to the Effective Date pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 or otherwise shall be binding on all parties.

The Reorganized Debtors are authorized to serve upon a Holder of a Disputed Claim an offer to allow judgment to be taken on account of such Claim, and, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 7068 and 9014, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply to such offer of judgment. To the extent the Holder of a Claim must pay the costs incurred by the Reorganized Debtors after the making of such offer, the Reorganized Debtors are entitled to setoff such amounts against the amount of any distribution to be paid to such Holder without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

C. Estimation of Claims

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection; and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection; provided, however, that if the Bankruptcy Court resolves the Allowed amount of a Claim, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall not be permitted to seek an estimation of such Claim. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions) until the Allowed amount of such Claim is determined by a Final Order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim.

 

D. Disallowance of Certain Claims

Any Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549 or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or an order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Reorganized Debtors. All Claims filed on account of an indemnification obligation to a director, officer or employee shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date, and all such indemnification obligations shall be assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Subject to and in accordance with Section V.H of the Plan, all Claims filed on account of an employee benefit shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date, and the Reorganized Debtors shall honor any such employee benefits, without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

44


E. Prepetition Litigation

On the Effective Date, the automatic stay provided under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be lifted as to all litigation concerning General Unsecured Claims against the Debtors, and each such litigation will resume in its pre-petition forum, unless the Debtors, in consultation with the Required Consenting Noteholders, or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, seek to remove any such litigation pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9027 prior to the entry of a final decree in all of the Chapter 11 Cases.

ARTICLE VIII.

B. Compromise and Settlement of Claims, Interests, and Controversies

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise of all Claims, Interests, and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that a Holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, or any distribution to be made on account of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims, Interests, and controversies, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable, and reasonable. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may compromise and settle Claims against the Debtors and their Estates and Causes of Action against other Entities.

 

C. Setoffs and Recoupment

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code) or other applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed by the Holder of an Allowed Claim, set off or recoup against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan, a Final Order or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff or recoupment nor the Allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action.

 

45


D. Release of Liens

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan and, in the case of a Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the portion of the Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors.

Notwithstanding Federal Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan and the documents and instruments contained in the Plan Supplement shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any and all Holders of Claims or Interests (irrespective of whether their Claims or Interests are deemed to have accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Confirmation Order shall contain a waiver of any stay of enforcement otherwise applicable, including pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) and 7062.

 

B. Additional Documents

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors, with the consent of the Required Consenting Creditors, may File with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

 

53


C. Payment of Statutory Fees

All fees payable pursuant to section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing shall be paid on or prior to the Effective Date. On and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor (individually or collectively with the other Reorganized Debtors) shall pay all such fees when due and payable, and shall file with the Bankruptcy Court quarterly reports in a form reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Trustee, until that particular Reorganized Debtor’s case has been closed, converted or dismissed, whichever occurs first.

 

D. Reservation of Rights

The Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court enters the Confirmation Order. None of the Filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.

 

E. Successors and Assigns

The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor, assign, Affiliate, officer, director, agent, representative, attorney, beneficiaries, or guardian, if any, of such Entity.

In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Date, the Debtors shall serve a combined Notice of Confirmation and Effective Date by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, by hand, or by overnight courier service to all parties served with the Confirmation Hearing Notice; provided that no notice or service of any kind shall be required to be mailed or made upon any Entity to whom the Debtors mailed a Confirmation Hearing Notice, but received such notice returned marked “undeliverable as addressed,” “moved, left no forwarding address” or “forwarding order expired,” or similar reason, unless the Debtors have been informed in writing by such Entity, or are otherwise aware, of that Entity’s new address. Mailing of the Notice of Confirmation in the time and manner set forth in the this paragraph shall be good and sufficient notice under the particular circumstances and in accordance with the requirements of Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), and no further notice is necessary.

 

55


G. Term of Injunctions or Stays

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect through the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

 

H. Entire Agreement

Except as otherwise indicated in an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan and the Plan Supplement supersede all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects, all of which shall become merged and integrated into the Plan on the Effective Date.

 

I. Governing Law

Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules) or unless otherwise specifically stated, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws, shall govern the rights, obligations, construction, and implementation of the Plan and any agreements, documents, instruments, or contracts executed or entered into in connection with the Plan (except as otherwise set forth in those agreements, in which case the governing law of such agreement shall control); provided, however, that corporate governance matters relating to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, not incorporated in New York shall be governed by the laws of the state of incorporation of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable.

 

J. Exhibits

All exhibits and documents included in the Plan (including the Plan Supplement and the documents incorporated therein) are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. After the exhibits and documents are Filed, copies of such exhibits and documents shall be available upon written request to the Debtors’ counsel at the address above or by downloading such exhibits and documents from the website of the Notice and Claims Agent at http://dm.epiq11.com/KeyEnergy or the Bankruptcy Court’s website at http://www.deb.uscourts.gov.

 

K. Nonseverability of Plan Provisions

If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted; provided, however, that any such alteration or interpretation must be reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Consenting Creditors. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan and the other Definitive Restructuring Documents, the New ABL Credit Facility Documents, the New Warrant Agreement(s), the Corporate Advisory Services Agreement and the Rights Offering Documents, as any of such documents may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be amended, deleted, modified or supplemented except as provided therein and herein; and (3) non-severable and mutually dependent.

 

56


L. Closing of Chapter 11 Cases

The Reorganized Debtors shall, promptly after the full administration of each Chapter 11 Case (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may occur at different times, including on the Effective Date), File with the Bankruptcy Court all documents required by Federal Bankruptcy Rule 3022 and a proposed form of any applicable order necessary to close the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

M. Conflicts

In the event of an inconsistency between the Plan and any document or instrument Filed in the Plan Supplement, the terms of the relevant document or instrument in the Plan Supplement shall control unless otherwise specified in such document or instrument. In the event of an inconsistency between the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Term Sheet or the Plan Support Agreement, the Plan shall control. The provisions of the Plan and of the Confirmation Order shall be construed in a manner consistent with each other so as to effectuate the purposes of each; provided, however, that if there is determined to be any inconsistency between any provision of the Plan and any provision of the Confirmation Order that cannot be so reconciled, then, solely to the extent of such inconsistency, the provisions of the Confirmation Order shall govern, and any such provisions of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed a modification of the Plan.

 

N. Dissolution of the Committee

In the event a statutory committee is appointed by the U.S. Trustee, such official committee shall dissolve, and the members thereof shall be released and discharged from all rights and duties arising from, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases on the Effective Date; provided, that such official committee shall be deemed to remain in existence solely with respect to, and shall not be heard on any issue except, applications filed by the Retained Professionals pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

O. Section 1125(e) Good Faith Compliance

The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and each of the Exculpated Parties, and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, members (including ex officio members), managers, employees, partners, advisors, attorneys, professionals, accountants, investment bankers, investment advisors, actuaries, Affiliates, financial advisors, consultants and agents, shall be deemed to have acted in “good faith” under section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, including in connection with the offer, sale and issuance of Plan Securities, the implementation of the Rights Offering and the issuance and distribution of the rights pursuant thereto.

 

P. Further Assurances

The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, all Holders of Claims and Interests receiving distributions hereunder and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan or the Confirmation Order.
